Breadcrumbs
When turned on the breadcrumb trail will be displayed on each page (not commonly used) Breadcrumbs provide an additional means by which users can easily navigate a website. If a user lands on an internal page on your website from another source breadcrumbs will allow the user to see exactly where they stand within the sites hierarchy. User are also given the opportunity to move up to a higher level of the website at any given time without any hassle.
Easy to Backtrack
Primary navigation on most websites is not designed to be followed backwards but breadcrumbs are. Since backtracking is extremely popular online providing a little additional help to get around your website can go a long way.
Eliminate Additional Clicks
Breadcrumbs allow users to jump from one level of a website to the next without having to use the “forward” or “backward” buttons on the browser. Additionally breadcrumbs eliminate the need for users to continually resort to the main navigation.
Shows Users Hierarchy
The primary navigation of a website will not reflect the hierarchy of every page within the site. Giving users breadcrumbs will allow them to see the hierarchy of a page within a website
Only consider if your website has a lot of nested pages.
